8. Totally Wrothwhile and Essential
Ultimately thart's what good stuff like democracy and peace are all about. Absolutism and refusal to understand others' perspectioves is the cause of rotten things like fascism, war and fundamentalist rigidity of all varieties.

It's important to understand and emphasize with other views and goals on many lavels. For one, you have to understand what you're challemging, so you can argue in a way that addresses the concerns of others.

It's also the only way conflicts are resolved.
